Ključni pojmi

Singular Nouns: Adding 's
When one person or animal owns something, we add an apostrophe (') and then an 's' to their name. This little 's' means 'belonging to' or 'of'. For example, 'Ana's book' means the book belongs to Ana. We use this for single owners like 'the dog's tail' or 'my brother's bike'.
- Add 's to singular nouns.
- Shows ownership by one person or animal.
Plural Nouns Ending in 's': Just Add '
If a group of people or things (a plural noun) already ends in 's', we don't add another 's'. We just put an apostrophe (') after the existing 's'. For example, 'the students' classroom' means the classroom belongs to all the students. This also applies to 'the girls' toys' or 'my parents' car'.
- For plural nouns ending in 's', add only an apostrophe (').
- Do not add another 's'.
Irregular Plural Nouns: Add 's
Some plural nouns don't end in 's', like 'children' or 'men'. For these special plural nouns, we add 's just like we do for singular nouns. So, 'the children's games' means the games belong to the children. Another example is 'the men's team', showing the team belongs to the men.
- For plural nouns not ending in 's', add 's.
- Treat them like singular nouns for possession.
Zanimivosti
- The apostrophe (') is very important to show possession.
- We usually use the possessive 's for people and animals, but for objects, we often use 'of the', like 'the leg of the table'.
